065, Su Tong's family affairs
Since the disposal of Baiyang a few days ago, the people of Momei Courtyard have not only been superficial in their respect for Su Xi, but the most obvious ones are Xianglan and them.
In the past, when I asked for something or did something for the little girl at the bottom, I always pushed back and forth, but now many things are done by the girl without them opening her mouth.
Su Xi had to sigh: Sure enough, people are good and are bullied.
Liwei has already gained a foothold, and Shi En also has to give a full set, Su Xi asked Xianglan to pick seven or eight pieces of gold jewelry from her dowry, plus two hundred taels of silver, and send them to Baiyang as a dowry with great fanfare.
The girls in the courtyard were all red-eyed, and even a big girl like Lu Fu Hongrui couldn't help but secretly admire Su Xi's generosity, and for a while, Xianglan secretly didn't know how many good signals they received, some in the courtyard and some outside the courtyard.
Just when Su Xi listened to Xianglan and their new friends in the past few days, news came from Su Mansion that Su Tong was married.
Su Xi was a little surprised, the last time they met, her mother also said that the third uncle and the third aunt were going to stay with Su Tong for two more years, and they would not discuss marriage for the time being, why did they decide on the family affair in a blink of an eye?
She picked out a few gifts for Vanilla to take home, and asked her to ask what was going on.
Su Tong's family affair was indeed a bit sudden, Su San went to Baishao Village, and when he came back, he informed everyone in the Su family that Su Tong's family affair had been decided, and even Su Tong himself couldn't figure out what was going on.
It is said that the old lady of the Yang family wanted to tell Su Tong to her eldest grandson Hongdou to be her daughter-in-law, and her son and daughter-in-law were very happy, so she went to Su San to talk about it the next day.
Master Su San and Chidou are also familiar with each other, and they always mention Chidou when they encounter anything in business on weekdays, but they want Chidou to be their son-in-law......
The third master loves his daughter like his life, and there is a kind of sick psychology that no man in the world is worthy of his daughter, and an inconspicuous young man like Chidou who is placed in the pile of people is definitely not a son-in-law candidate in the third master's mind.
So, the third old man rejected the eldest brother of the Yang family under the pretext of not being willing to let his daughter be on the bad street, and the third lady Yang felt sorry for this, but she believed that the third master was for Su Tong's good, so she didn't say anything.
The two sisters Su Tong and Su Zhen returned to the mansion on the eve of Su Xi's marriage, and the entire Su Mansion was busy at that time, and the Wang family was also busy preparing for the marriage of Su Rong, who was about to get married, and had no time to find trouble with the third room.
After Su Tong returned home, he seriously kowtowed in front of the third master and the third lady to ask for guilt, where would the third master and the third lady really blame Su Tong, seeing that the girl was so sensible, the big pimple in her heart had already been thrown out of the clouds.
The family chatted happily for a while, Su Tong was growing up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was not as squeamish as before when he spoke and acted, and he even considered his parents' feelings.
This made the three old men very pleased, and after asking carefully, they knew that it was all the credit of Lu Fuzi of Baishao Village, and the third master was very grateful to this master, and specially asked the eldest brother of the Yang family to bring him a thank you gift.
Yesterday, the place where the third master went out to run errands happened to be very close to Baishao Village, so he turned over to visit Yue's house, and went to the private school to thank Lu Zhou in person.
The moment he saw Lu Zhou, the third master was not calm, he originally thought that Lu Zhou should be an old man in his fifties, and he should be thirty or forty years younger, but he didn't expect that he was a young man less than twenty.
He even asked Su Tong to communicate and learn more with Lu Zhou!
The attitude of the third master suddenly became very strange, but Lu Zhou didn't mind at all, and politely invited the third master to drink tea together, and he had a romantic temperament in his words and demeanor.
However, after chatting for two or three sentences, the third master changed his attitude again, this time to respect the knowledgeable gentleman.
After chatting for half a cup of tea, the third master was completely impressed by this Mr. Lu. He is not very old, but he does know a lot, from a house and a thing to a family and a country, Lu Zhou can always talk eloquently.
The point is that the third master thinks what he said is very reasonable.
Because the third master was born as a concubine, he knew since he was a child that he had to fight for everything he wanted, so he was more diligent than the two brothers no matter what he did, and not admitting defeat was the advantage that the third master was proud of.
He has grown so big, the only thing he admires is his father, even Master Su can't convince him, but today he admires a teenager.
The third old man was excited for a while, and pulled Lu Zhou and said: "Mr. Lu, I and you are like acquaintances at first sight, what do you think of my family, is it okay to be your daughter-in-law?" β
As soon as the words came out, the third master reacted, and he was very remorseful in his heart, and was about to say, "It's just a joke, don't worry about it" or something, but Lu Zhou bowed to the third master seriously.
said: "Thank you Master Su for your kindness, Zhou will live up to your love." β
The third master smashed his mouth, and he couldn't say anything in his mouth anymore, so he had to admit it.
But then I thought about it, Lu Zhouwei is really a rare talent, besides, his parents passed away, he was alone, and the family relationship was very simple, which was suitable for Su Tong's naΓ―ve character.
Thinking about it like this, the third master was relieved, happily exchanged tokens with Lu Zhou, and agreed to marry Su Tong when Lu Zhou won the examination.
Lu Zhou has been waiting for three years, at first he was worried about his livelihood and had to postpone the exam, and then the private school was on the right track, and he was a little reluctant to let this group of children drag it until now.
This year is not ready to delay any longer, one is that the village chief has already contacted the new master, the master is nearly sixty years old, and he has not been in the exam for more than 20 years.
Again, Lu Zhou has also reached the age of marrying a wife, and for Su Tong, he also has to gain some fame before he has the confidence to go to the richest man in Sifang City to propose marriage.
Lu Zhou was very surprised by the sudden visit of the third master, and what surprised him even more was that the third master offered to marry Su Tong to him.
Lu Zhou suddenly had a sense of happiness that fell from the sky.
Su Tong's family affairs were decided in this way, and after the third master returned home, he naturally wouldn't say that he was talking on a whim, but only that he saw Lu Zhou and felt that this person was a talent, and Jinglun was full of love for talent.
Master Su has never seen such a calm third master, in the past, the third master always wanted to check the other party to the bottom of the genius to make a decision, this time to set up a family affair for his daughter, it is too unusual.
Master Su was very curious about this person named Lu Zhou, and wanted to ask Su Wenqin to inquire, but who knew that Su Wenqin actually knew Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou originally studied in Luming Academy, and the gentlemen praised him for his talent, and the mountain chief also personally instructed him, but his family was not rich, so he couldn't stay in Luming Academy all the time.
However, every time Lu Zhou came to ask Mr. for advice, the gentlemen were very enthusiastic to solve his doubts, which made the students of the academy blush. It wasn't until his parents passed away that he rarely came to the academy.
Lu Zhou was also the head of the court examination three years ago.
When Master Su heard this, he praised the third master for picking up a treasure, and he didn't blame the third master for not being calm, but if it was him, he couldn't be calm.
ββββββββββ
In July, when it was the hottest time in the city, even the mosquitoes couldn't stand the heat, and the cats rested in an unknown corner.
Although Mrs. Lu has lived in Sifang City for more than ten years, she is still not used to the climate here, and at this time, she will go to live in another courtyard on Xiaotan Peak outside the city for a while.
Xiaotan Peak is close to Luming Mountain, it is a small hill in the Luming Mountain group, but because it is facing Luming Mountain, the scenery is very good, and the mountains are cool, which is the most suitable for spending midsummer.
The Lu family has many children, and Mrs. Lu is not good at bringing this, not bringing that, simply not bringing any of them, and going to the summer by herself, no one dares to say anything with her identity.
As soon as Mrs. Lu left, Lu Youzhen and Su Xi planned to go to Sanqi Hutong to live for a while, which was close to the Siwu River, which was always cooler than the house.
said that they would leave, and the two of them reported to Master Lu and packed their things and went over.
Sanqi Hutong got the news early, it was because Suxi and they saw a couple in their thirties come out to greet them, the house was cleaned spotlessly, and they could live directly after the things were set up.
Aunt Hu and her family were placed by Lu Youzhen in Sanqi Hutong to guard, usually guarding the door and cleaning is Aunt Hu and her husband's work, when Su Xi and Lu Youzhen came over, Aunt Hu also worked part-time as a cook.
Xianglan Vanilla was busy putting the clothes and supplies she brought one by one, and Lu Youzhen only brought Lu Feng with her, and she also helped Xianglan and them move things at this time.
Lu Youzhen and Su Xi don't have to worry so much, they just need to sit down and eat some fruits and sweet soup prepared by Aunt Hu happily, and then think about how to play.
The first project is naturally to swim in the lake, think about those fragrant lotus canopies, Su Xi is a little drooling, and when the sun sets in the west, Su Xi can't wait to pull Lu Youzhen to the lotus pond in the lower reaches of the Siwu River.
Along the way, Su Xi was in high spirits, and he couldn't wait to fly over with wings.
"Lu Youzhen," Su Xi shouted, "Can you teach me to ride a horse?" The carriage was too slow. β
"I'll teach you when the weather is cooler, and now on this hot day, be careful of heat stroke." Lu Youzhen said as he fed her a grape.
"It's going to be a long time then." Su Xi was not happy, thought about it and said, "How about we study at night?" Cool at night. β
"Well, at night, then you have to wait, wait until I go to build a house outside the city, and live there to run horses at night, and there will be a curfew in the city at night." It's too dark at night, it's so dangerous, where will Lu Youzhen rest assured that she will study at night.
Su Xi pursed his lips, not very happy.
"Okay, when the weather gets cooler, I'll teach you how to ride a horse, okay?" Lu Youzhen coaxed her.
"Okay then." Su Xi had no choice but to compromise.
The carriage swayed to the lotus pond, and Su Xi immediately came back to life with full blood, and became a lively Su Xi again. She trotted all the way, found the boat hidden under the lotus leaf before, and beckoned Lu Youzhen to come over quickly.
The two got on the boat, it was still Lu Youzhen rowing, Su Xi leaned on his side to peel the lotus canopy, sometimes eating two grains by himself, and sometimes feeding Lu Youzhen two grains.
The boat gently paddled the bustling lotus leaves, slowly swaying along the current, and the golden sunlight shone on the boat through the lotus leaves, as if plated with a layer of gold.
This is the place where she and Lu Youzhen have a formal date for the first time, and it is also the place where Lu Youzhen kisses her for the first time, recalling the appearance at that time, Su Xi's face flushed slightly.
